1. Cars 2, from Walt Disney. "Lightning McQueen (voice by Owen Wilson), Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), Sally (Bonnie Hunt), and the rest of the gang from Radiator Springs return to the screen in this sequel to Pixar's Cars (2006)."

2. High School Musical (Encore Edition), from Walt Disney. " ... a combination of backstage action and Grease without the unwholesome habits. Scoring record ratings at the time of its January 2006 broadcast, it's a smash hit with tween audiences (ages 6 to 10), but appealing for all ages. At a New Year's Eve party, Troy (Zac Efron of the WB's Summerland) has a chance meeting with Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens) when they share a karaoke song."

3. Believing Is Seeing: Observations on the Mysteries of Photography, by Errol Morris. "In his inimitable style, Morris untangles the mysteries behind an eclectic range of documentary photographs, from the ambrotype of three children found clasped in the hands of an unknown soldier at Gettysburg to the indelible portraits of the WPA photography project."

4. Massive Manga: Techniques for Drawing, Inking and Colouring, by Yishan Li. "This comprehensive guide explains the essentials of this art form for manga artists of all skill levels, giving novices basic instruction and providing advanced tips for more seasoned illustrators."

6. Lennon: The Man, the Myth, the Music - The Definitive Life, by Tim Riley. "Riley portrays Lennon's rise from Hamburg's red light district to Britain's Royal Variety Show; from the charmed naiveté of 'Love Me Do' to the soaring ambivalence of 'Don't Let Me Down'; from his shotgun marriage to Cynthia Powell in 1962 to his epic media romance with Yoko Ono."

7. A Train in Winter: An Extraordinary Story of Women, Friendship, and Resistance in Occupied France, by Caroline Moorehead. "In January 1943, 230 women of the French Resistance were sent to the death camps by the Nazis who had invaded and occupied their country. This is their story, told in full for the first time—a searing and unforgettable chronicle of terror, courage, defiance, survival, and the power of friendship."

8. Blue Nights, by Joan Didion. "In her first book since The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion has now written with stunning frankness about her daughter, Quintana Roo, as well as thoughts and fears about having children and about growing old."

9. Spencer Tracy: A Biography, by James Curtis. "A major new biography, the first in more than twenty years, of the most revered screen actor of his generation. A rich, vibrant portrait, and the most intimate and telling yet, of this complex man considered to be the actor’s actor."

10. Mrs. Nixon: A Novelist Imagines a Life, by Ann Beattie. " ... Beattie delivers a wholly original work about Pat Nixon—a riveting exploration of an elusive and modern icon and of the fiction writer’s art."
